to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
The U.S. economy is now seven years into the recovery, but its pace remains stubbornly subpar compared to past recoveries. Economic data continues to be a mixed bag, as it has been throughout this expansion period. While the unemployment rate fell below its pre-recession level and wages have grown, a surprisingly weak jobs growth report in May cast doubt over the future strength of the labor market. Subsequent employment reports have been stronger, however, easing fears that a significant downtrend was emerging. The housing market has improved markedly but its contribution to the recovery has been lackluster. Deflationary pressures, including weaker commodity prices, have kept inflation much lower for longer than many expected.
The U.S.’s modest expansion and positive employment trends led the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to begin its path toward policy “normalization” by raising its benchmark interest rate at its December 2015 meeting. However, since then, the Fed has remained on hold for reasons ranging from domestic to international, which helped continue to prop up asset prices despite bouts of short-term volatility.
Outside the U.S., optimism has been harder to come by. Investors continue to question whether China’s economy is finally stabilizing or still slowing. The U.K.’s June 23rd “Brexit” vote to leave the European Union introduced a new set of economic and political uncertainties to the already fragile conditions across Europe. Moreover, there are growing concerns that global central banks’ unprecedented efforts to revive growth may be showing signs of fatigue. Interest rates are currently negative in Europe and Japan and near or at zero in the U.S., U.K. and elsewhere. Yet, growth has remained subdued.
With global economic growth still looking fairly fragile, and few near-term catalysts for improvement, we anticipate that turbulence remains on the horizon for the time being. In this environment, Nuveen remains committed to both managing downside risks and seeking upside potential. If you’re concerned about how resilient your investment portfolio might be, we encourage you to talk to your financial advisor.
On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board
September 23, 2016

Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio
This Fund was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts and is a specialized municipal bond portfolio to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
The Fund is managed by Nuveen Asset Management LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Martin J. Doyle, CFA, has served as manager for the Fund since its inception in 2007. Here he discusses U.S. economic and financial markets, the Fund’s investment strategy and its performance during the twelve-month reporting period ended July 31, 2016.
What factors affected the U.S. economy and financial markets during the twelve-month reporting period ended July 31, 2016?
Over the twelve-month reporting period, U.S. economic data continued to point to subdued growth, rising employment and tame inflation. Economic activity has continued to hover around a 2% annualized growth rate since the end of the Great Recession in 2009, as measured by real gross domestic product (GDP), which is the value of the goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes. For the second quarter of 2016, real GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.1%, as reported by the “second” estimate of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, up from 0.8% in the first quarter of 2016.
The labor and housing markets improved over the reporting period, although the momentum appeared to slow toward the end of the reporting period. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 4.9% in July 2016 from 5.3% in July 2015, and job gains averaged slightly above 200,000 per month for the past twelve months. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, recorded a 5.1% annual gain in June 2016 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared) (effective July 26, 2016, the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index was renamed the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 4.3% and 5.1%, respectively.
Consumers, whose purchases comprise the largest component of the U.S. economy, benefited from employment growth and firming wages over the twelve-month reporting period. Although consumer spending gains were rather muted in the latter half of 2015, a spending surge in the second quarter of 2016 helped offset weaker business investment. A backdrop of low inflation also contributed to consumers’ willingness to buy. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.8% over the twelve-month reporting period ended July 2016 on a seasonally adjusted basis, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 2.2% during the same period, slightly above the Fed’s unofficial longer term inflation objective of 2.0%.

For financial reporting purposes, ratings disclosed are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch). This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings, while BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.
Bond insurance guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the bond when due, and not the value of the bonds themselves, which will fluctuate with the bond market and the financial success of the issuer and the insurer. Insurance relates specifically to the bonds in the portfolio and not to the share prices of a fund. No representation is made as to the insurers’ ability to meet their commitments.

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (continued)
Business investment remained weak over the reporting period. Corporate earnings growth slowed during 2015, reflecting an array of factors ranging from weakening demand amid sluggish U.S. and global growth to the impact of falling commodity prices and a strong U.S. dollar. Although energy prices rebounded off their lows and the dollar pared some of its gains in the first half of 2016, caution prevailed. Financial market turbulence in early 2016 and political uncertainties surrounding the U.K.’s “Brexit” vote to leave the European Union (EU) and the upcoming U.S. presidential election dampened capital spending.
With the current expansion considered to be on solid footing, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) prepared to raise one of its main interest rates, which had been held near zero since December 2008 to help stimulate the economy. After delaying the rate change for most of 2015 because of a weak global economic growth outlook, the Fed announced in December 2015 that it would raise the fed funds target rate by 0.25%. The news was widely expected and therefore had a relatively muted impact on the financial markets.
Although the Fed continued to emphasize future rate increases would be gradual, investors worried about the pace. This, along with uncertainties about the global macroeconomic backdrop, another downdraft in oil prices and a spike in stock market volatility triggered significant losses across assets that carry more risk and fueled demand for “safe haven” assets such as Treasury bonds and gold from January through mid-February, however, fear began to subside in March. The Fed held the rate steady at both the January and March policy meetings, as well as lowered its expectations to two rate increases in 2016 from four. Also boosting investor confidence were reassuring statements from the European Central Bank, some positive economic data in the U.S. and abroad, a retreat in the U.S. dollar and an oil price rally. At its April meeting, the Fed indicated its readiness to raise its benchmark rate at the next policy meeting in June. However, a very disappointing jobs growth report in May and the significant uncertainty surrounding the U.K.’s Brexit vote led the Fed to again hold rates steady at its June and July meetings.
The U.K.’s vote on June 23, 2016 to leave the EU caught investors off guard. In response, U.K. sterling fell precipitously, global equities were turbulent and safe-haven assets such as gold, the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasuries saw notable inflows. However, the markets stabilized fairly quickly, buoyed by reassurances from global central banks and a perception that the temporary price rout presented an attractive buying opportunity. Although many political and economic uncertainties for the U.K. and the EU remain, market volatility was relatively subdued throughout July, as concerns of a Brexit-induced financial crisis abated.
The broad municipal bond market performed well in the twelve-month reporting period, supported by falling interest rates, a favorable supply-demand balance and generally improving credit fundamentals. Early in the reporting period, interest rates rose on the expectation that the Fed would begin to raise short-term interest rates in the latter half of 2015. However, with the Fed’s first increase delayed until December and its indication of a more gradual path of increases in 2016, interest rates trended lower over the remainder of the reporting period. Municipal market yields moved in tandem with broader interest rates, ending the reporting period below where they started. However, while the yields on intermediate- and longer-dated bonds posted sizeable declines, the yields of short-dated bonds increased slightly during the reporting period. This caused the municipal yield curve to flatten over the reporting period.
The bouts of heightened volatility across other assets that carry more risk, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate increases and the low to negative yields of European and Asian bonds have bolstered the appeal of municipal bonds’ risk-adjusted returns and tax-equivalent yields. The municipal bond market is less directly influenced by the Fed’s rate adjustments and its demand base is largely comprised of U.S. investors, factors which have helped municipal bonds deliver relatively attractive returns with less volatility than other market segments. The fundamental backdrop also remained supportive for municipal bonds. Despite the U.S. economy’s rather sluggish recovery, improving state and local balance sheets have contributed to generally good credit fundamentals. Higher tax revenue growth, better expense management and a more cautious approach to new debt issuance have led to credit upgrades and stable credit for many state and local issuers. While some pockets of weakness continued to grab headlines, including Illinois, New Jersey and Puerto Rico, their problems were largely contained, with minimal spillover into the broader municipal market.
How did the Fund perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended July 31, 2016?
The table in the Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provides total return performance for the Fund for the one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended July 31, 2016. The Fund’s Class I Share total return at net asset value (NAV) outperformed the Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index during the twelve-month reporting period ended July 31, 2016.
6 | NUVEEN |
What strategies were used to manage the Fund during the reporting period ended July 31, 2016 and how did these strategies influence performance?
The Fund uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for higher yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer the potential for above average total return. The Fund invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower) and non-rated municipal securities. The Fund focuses on securities with intermediate to longer term maturities. We continue to focus on improving call protection to stabilize the consistency of income across longer periods.
During the reporting period, several factors contributed to the Fund’s outperformance, including our exposure to bonds with maturities and durations longer than the benchmark. Longer maturities and durations generally outperformed shorter maturity and duration bonds during the reporting period. From a quality perspective, exposure to mid-grade (A and BBB ratings) and high yield (non-rated or rated below investment grade) bonds contributed to performance. Lower quality bonds generally outperformed higher quality bonds during the reporting period. Security selection positively impacted performance. The Fund did not have any exposure to Puerto Rico debt during the reporting period. Puerto Rico issues generally underperformed other bonds in the municipal high yield portion of the market. Lastly, exposure to certain revenue bond sectors such as health care, transportation, charter schools and higher education all contributed to the Fund’s outperformance relative to lower yielding sectors such as pre-refunded or escrowed bonds.
During the reporting period, bouts of heightened volatility across other assets that carry more risk, uncertainty about the Fed’s rate increases and the low to negative yields of European and Asian bonds bolstered the appeal of municipal bonds’ risk-adjusted returns and tax-equivalent yields, which lead to significant inflows to the Fund. The resulting cash position was a slight drag on performance.
A Note About Investment Valuations
The municipal securities held by the Fund are valued by the Fund’s pricing service using a range of market-based inputs and assumptions. A different municipal pricing service might incorporate different assumptions and inputs into its valuation methodology, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. These differences could be significant, both as to such individual securities, and as to the value of a given Fund’s portfolio in its entirety. Thus, the current net asset value of a Fund’s shares may be impacted, higher or lower, if the Fund were to change pricing service, or if its pricing service were to materially change its valuation methodology. The Fund has received notification by their current municipal bond pricing service that such service has agreed to be acquired by the parent company of another pricing service. Thus there is an increased risk that the Fund’s pricing service may change, or that the Funds’ current pricing service may change its valuation methodology, either of which could have an impact on the net asset value of the Fund’s shares.

and Dividend Information
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Fund, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, tax risk, political and economic risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. The Fund’s potential use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Fund’s exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.
Dividend Information
The Fund seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit the Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. The Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
As of July 31, 2016, the Fund had a positive UNII balance for tax purposes and a positive UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.
All monthly dividends paid by the Fund during the current reporting period, were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. For financial reporting purposes, the composition and per share amounts of the Fund’s dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively. For income tax purposes, distribution information for the Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 – Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

Fund Performance, Expense Ratios
and Effective Leverage Ratios
This is a specialized municipal bond Fund developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts.
Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Income is generally exempt from regular federal income taxes. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by the investment adviser during the periods presented. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, returns would have been reduced. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. For the most recent month-end performance call (800) 257-8787.
Fund shares have no sales charge. Fund returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
The expense ratios shown reflect total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) as shown in the most recent prospectus.
Leverage is created whenever the Fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown is the amount of investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.

Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of a fund’s yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the fund’s portfolio. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Subsidized yields reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. If any such waivers and/or reimbursements had not been in place, yields would have been reduced. Unsubsidized yields do not reflect waivers and/or reimbursements from the investment adviser during the period. Refer to the Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for further details on the investment adviser’s most recent agreement with the Fund to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, where applicable. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the fund may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.
The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the fund on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. If the comparison were instead to investments that generate qualified dividend income, which is taxable at a rate lower than an individual’s ordinary graduated tax rate, the fund’s Taxable-Equivalent Yield would be lower.

Examples
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Fund expenses. The Examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the period ended July 31, 2016.
The beginning of the period is February 1, 2016.
The information under “Actual Performance,” together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled “Expenses Incurred During Period” to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under “Hypothetical Performance,” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio (a series of Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust, hereinafter referred to as the “Fund”) at July 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at July 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio (continued)
Portfolio of Investments | July 31, 2016 |
(1) | All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets. |
(2) | Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic principal paydowns. Optional Call Provisions are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm. |
(3) | For financial reporting purposes, the ratings disclosed are the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. This treatment of split-rated securities may differ from that used for other purposes, such as for Fund investment policies. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies. Ratings are not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm. |
(4) | Investment, or portion of investment, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment obligations for investments in inverse floating rate transactions. |
(5) | Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. |
(6) | As of, or subsequent to, the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing, in the case of a fixed-income security, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely to meet its future interest payment obligations and has ceased accruing additional income on the Fund’s records. |
(7) | Step-up coupon. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period. |
(8) | Investment has a maturity of greater than one year, but has variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect as of the end of the reporting period. This rate changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market index. |
(WI/DD) | Investment, or portion of investment, purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. |
(ETM) | Escrowed to maturity. |
(IF) | Inverse floating rate investment. |
(UB) | Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives, Inverse Floating Rate Securities for more information. |
144A | Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers. |

Financial Statements
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Trust and Fund Information
The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of the Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio (the “Fund”), as a diversified fund. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.
The Fund is developed exclusively for use within separately managed accounts sponsored by Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Fund is a specialized municipal bond fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
The end of the reporting period for the Fund is July 31, 2016, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016 (the “current fiscal period”).
Investment Adviser
The Fund’s investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen. Nuveen is an operating division of TIAA Global Asset Management. The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Fund, oversees the management of the Fund’s portfolio, manages the Fund’s business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and, if necessary, asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Investment Objectives
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek attractive total return. The Fund also seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income taxes.
The Fund’s most recent prospectus provides further description of the Fund’s investment objectives, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Fund has earmarked securities in its portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | $ | 4,766,697 |
Investment Income
Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue
46 | NUVEEN |
other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and distributed to shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, the Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Fund’s investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
Level 2 – | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
Level 3 – | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Prices of fixed-income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.
NUVEEN | 47 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
Long-Term Investments*: | ||||||||||||||||

* | Refer to the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for state classifications. |
The Board is responsible for the valuation process and has appointed the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund’s pricing policies and reporting to the Board. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
(i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
(ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (referred to as an “Underlying Bond”), typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose tender option bond (“TOB”) trust (referred to as the “TOB
48 | NUVEEN |
Trust”) created by or at the direction of the Fund. In turn, the TOB Trust issues (a) floating rate certificates (referred to as “Floaters”), in face amounts equal to some fraction of the Underlying Bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) an inverse floating rate certificate (referred to as an “Inverse Floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the TOB Trust. Floaters typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties who are also provided a right to tender their certificate and receive its par value, which may be paid from the proceeds of a remarketing of the Floaters, by a loan to the TOB Trust from a third party liquidity provider (“Liquidity Provider”), or by the sale of assets from the TOB Trust. The Inverse Floater is issued to a long term investor, such as the Fund. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss (and possible gain) of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.
The Inverse Floater held by the Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par (or slightly more than par in certain circumstances), and (b) have the trustee of the TOB Trust (the “Trustee”) transfer the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust.
The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a TOB Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a TOB Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the TOB Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). The Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the TOB Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).
An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond, and recognizes (a) the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or on the TOB Trust’s borrowings, and (b) other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust, as a component of “Interest expense” on the Statement of Operations.
In contrast, an investment in an externally-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a purchase of the Inverse Floater and is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” For an externally-deposited Inverse Floater, the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities recognizes the Inverse Floater and not the Underlying Bond as an asset, and the Fund does not recognize the Floaters, or any related borrowings from a Liquidity Provider, as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider as lender, and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid or the expenses of the TOB Trust as described above as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Fees paid upon the creation of a TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters are recognized as part of the cost basis of the Inverse Floater and are capitalized over the term of the TOB Trust.
As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate value of Floaters issued by the Fund’s TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:
Floating Rate Obligations Outstanding | ||||
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited Inverse Floaters | $ | 23,270,000 | ||
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters | 34,145,000 | |||
Total | $ | 57,415,000 |
During the current fiscal period, the average amount of Floaters (including any borrowings from a Liquidity Provider) outstanding, and the average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited Inverse Floaters, were as follows:
Self-Deposited Inverse Floaters | ||||

TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a Liquidity Provider pursuant to which the Liquidity Provider agrees, in the event that Floaters are (a) tendered to the Trustee for remarketing and the remarketing does not occur, or (b) subject to mandatory tender pursuant to the terms of the TOB Trust agreement, to either purchase Floaters or to provide the Trustee with an advance from a loan facility to fund the purchase of Floaters by the TOB Trust. In certain circumstances, the Liquidity Provider may otherwise elect to have the Trustee sell the Underlying Bond to retire the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Floaters that were tendered and not remarketed prior to providing such a loan. In these circumstances, the Liquidity Provider remains obligated to provide a loan to the extent that the proceeds of the sale of the Underlying Bond is not sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Floaters.
The size of the commitment under the loan facility for a given TOB Trust is at least equal to the balance of that TOB Trust’s outstanding Floaters plus any accrued interest. In consideration of the loan facility, fee schedules are in place and are charged by the Liquidity Provider(s). Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased Floaters held by the TOB Trust. Interest paid on any outstanding loan balances will be effectively borne by the Fund that owns the Inverse Floaters of the TOB Trust that has incurred the borrowing and may be at a rate that is greater than the rate that would have been paid had the Floaters been successfully remarketed.
As described above, any amounts outstanding under a liquidity facility are recognized as a component of “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the Fund holding the corresponding Inverse Floaters issued by the borrowing TOB Trust. As of the end of the reporting period, there were no loans outstanding under any such facility.
The Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse arrangement” or “credit recovery swap”) (TOB Trusts involving such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), under which the Fund agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for the Trust’s Floaters, in certain circumstances, for the amount (if any) by which the liquidation value of the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust may fall short of the sum of the liquidation value of the Floaters issued by the TOB Trust plus any amounts borrowed by the TOB Trust from the Liquidity Provider, plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, the Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on an Inverse Floater may increase beyond the value of the Inverse Floater as the Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider. Any such shortfall amount in the aggregate is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s maximum exposure to the Floaters issued by Recourse Trusts for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:
Floating Rate Obligations – Recourse Trusts | ||||
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: self-deposited Inverse Floaters | $ | 14,920,000 | ||
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters | 24,405,000 | |||
Total | $ | 39,325,000 |
Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
In addition to the inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund invests, which are considered portfolio securities for financial reporting purposes, the Fund is authorized to invest in certain other derivative instruments. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Although the Fund is authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, it did not make any such investments during the current fiscal period.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business the Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Fund as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.

5. Investment Transactions
Long-term purchases and sales (including maturities) during the current fiscal period aggregated $199,974,738 and $44,031,573, respectively.
6. Income Tax Information
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, the Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Fund are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Fund is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAV of the Fund.
As of July 31, 2016, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 507,185,609 | ||
Gross unrealized: | ||||
Appreciation | $ | 40,131,477 | ||
Depreciation | (227,641 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 39,903,836 |
Permanent differences, primarily due to taxable market discount, resulted in reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets as of July 31, 2016, the Fund’s tax year end, as follows:
Capital paid-in | $ | — | ||
Undistributed (Over-distribution of) net investment income | (7,746 | ) | ||
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 7,746 |
The tax components of undistributed net tax-exempt income, net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of July 31, 2016, the Fund’s tax year end, were as follows:
Undistributed net tax-exempt income1 | $ | 1,472,008 | ||
Undistributed net ordinary income2 | 18,380 | |||
Undistributed net long-term capital gains | — |
1 | Undistributed net tax-exempt income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividends declared during the period July 1, 2016 through July 31, 2016, and paid on August 1, 2016. |
2 | Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains if any. |
NUVEEN | 51 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2 | Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. |
3 | The Fund hereby designates this amount paid during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, as Exempt Interest Dividends. |
As of July 31, 2016, the Fund’s tax year end, the Fund had unused capital losses carrying forward available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. The capital losses are not subject to expiration.
Capital losses to be carried forward – not subject to expiration | $ | 1,378,978 |
During the Fund’s tax year ended July 31, 2016, the Fund utilized $1,183,826 of its capital loss carryforward.
7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Adviser does not charge any management fees or other expenses directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are compensated for their services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.
8. Borrowing Arrangements
Uncommitted Line of Credit
During the current fiscal period, the Fund participated in an unsecured bank line of credit (“Unsecured Credit Line”) under which outstanding balances would bear interest at a variable rate. Although the Fund participated in the Unsecured Credit Line, it did not have any outstanding balances during the current fiscal period.
Committed Line of Credit
The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $2.5 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for various purposes other than leveraging for investment purposes. A large portion of this facility’s capacity (and its associated costs as described below) is currently dedicated for use by a small number of Participating Funds, which does not include the Fund covered by this shareholder report. The remaining capacity under the facility (and the corresponding portion of the facility’s annual costs) is separately dedicated to most of the other open-end funds in the Nuveen fund family, including the Fund covered by this shareholder report, along with a number of Nuveen closed-end funds. The credit facility expires in July 2017 unless extended or renewed.
The credit facility has the following terms: a fee of 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.25% per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.25% per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.
During the current fiscal period, the Fund did not utilize this facility.

Used in this Report (Unaudited)
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index: An unmanaged index composed of a broad range of investment-grade municipal bonds with maturity dates of approximately seven years. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.
Effective Leverage (Effective Leverage Ratio): Effective leverage is investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s (or share class’) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is the fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities.
Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically.

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board,” and each Trustee a “Board Member”), including the Board Members who are not parties to the Fund’s advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties (the “Independent Board Members”), is responsible for overseeing the performance of the investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund and determining whether to continue the Fund’s advisory agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) between the Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Management Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). Following the initial term upon the Fund’s commencement of operations, the Board reviews the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement and votes to determine whether the respective Advisory Agreement should be renewed. Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on May 24-26, 2016 (the “May Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the existing Advisory Agreements for the Fund.
During the year, the Board and its Committees met regularly to receive materials and discuss a variety of topics impacting the Fund including, among other things, overall market conditions and market performance, Fund investment performance, brokerage execution, valuation of securities, compliance matters, securities lending, risk management and ongoing initiatives. The Board had established several standing Committees, including the Open-end Fund Committee and Closed-end Fund Committee which permit the Board Members to delve further into the topics particularly relevant to the respective product line and enhance the Board’s effectiveness and oversight of the Fund. The Board also seeks to meet with the Sub-Adviser and its investment team at least once over a multiple year rotation through site visits. The information and knowledge the Board gained throughout the year from the Board and Committee meetings, site visits and the related materials were relevant to the Board’s evaluation of the Advisory Agreements, and the Board took such information into account in its review of the Advisory Agreements.
In addition to the materials received throughout the year, the Board received additional materials prepared specifically for its annual review of the Advisory Agreements in response to a request by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Board Members. The materials addressed a variety of topics, including a description of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (each, a “Fund Adviser”); a review of fund performance with a detailed focus on any performance outliers; an analysis of the investment teams; an analysis of fee and expense information for the Fund; an assessment of shareholder services for the Fund and of the performance of certain service providers; and a review of initiatives instituted or continued during the past year; as well as information regarding the profitability of the Fund Advisers, the compensation of portfolio managers, and compliance and risk matters.
As part of its annual review, the Board held a separate meeting on April 12-13, 2016 to review the Fund’s investment performance and consider an analysis by the Adviser of the Sub-Adviser examining, among other things, the team’s assets under management, investment performance, investment approach, and the stability and structure of the Sub-Adviser’s organization and investment team. During the review, the Independent Board Members requested and received additional information from management. Throughout the year and throughout their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members were assisted by independent legal counsel. The Independent Board Members met separately with independent legal counsel without management present and received a memorandum from such counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members’ review of the Advisory Agreements reflected an ongoing process that incorporated the information and considerations that occurred over the years, including the most recent year, as well as the information specifically furnished for the renewal process. In deciding to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members did not identify a particular factor as controlling, but rather the decision reflected the comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The following summarizes the principal factors, but not all the factors, the Board considered in its review of the Advisory Agreements and its conclusions.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the applicable Fund Adviser’s services provided to the Fund and the initiatives undertaken during the past year by the Adviser. The Board recognized the comprehensive set of services the Adviser provided to manage and operate the Nuveen funds, including (a) product management (such as setting dividends, positioning the product in the marketplace, managing the relationships with the distribution platforms, maintaining and enhancing shareholder communications and reporting to the Board); (b) investment services (such as overseeing sub-advisers and other service providers; analyzing investment performance and risks; overseeing risk management and disclosure; developing and interpreting investment policies; assisting in the development of products; helping to prepare financial statements and marketing disclosures; and overseeing trade execution); (c) fund administration (such as helping to prepare fund tax returns and complete other tax compliance matters; and helping to prepare regulatory filings and shareholder reports); (d) fund Board administration (such as preparing Board materials and organizing and providing assistance for Board meetings); (e) compliance (such as helping to devise and maintain the funds’ compliance program and related testing); and (f) legal support (such as helping to prepare registration statements and proxy statements, interpreting regulations and policies and overseeing fund activities). The Board Members noted, however, that the Fund is offered via separately managed accounts and may require fewer shareholder services than a typical open-end fund.
NUVEEN | 55 |
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
The Board reviewed the continued investment the Adviser had made in its business to continue to strengthen the breadth and quality of its services to the benefit of the Nuveen funds. The Board noted the Adviser’s additional staffing in key areas that support the funds and the Board, including in investment services, operations, fund governance, compliance, fund administration, product management, retail distribution and information technology. Among the enhancements to its services, the Board recognized the Adviser’s (a) expanded activities and support required as a result of regulatory developments, including in areas of compliance and reporting; (b) increased support for dividend management; (c) continued investment in its technical capabilities as the Adviser continued to build out a centralized fund data platform, enhance mobility and remote access capabilities, rationalize and upgrade software platforms, and automate certain regulatory liquidity determinations; (d) continued efforts to rationalize the product line through mergers, liquidations and re-positioning of Nuveen funds with the goal of increasing efficiencies, reducing costs, improving performance and addressing shareholder needs; (e) continued efforts to develop new lines of business designed to enhance the Nuveen product line and meet investor demands; and (f) continued commitment to enhance risk oversight, including the formation of the operational risk group to provide operational risk assessment, the access to platforms which provide better risk reporting to support investment teams, and the development of a new team to initially review new products and major product initiatives. The Board also recognized the Adviser’s efforts to renegotiate certain fees of other service providers which culminated in reduced expenses for all funds for custody and accounting services without diminishing the breadth and quality of the services provided. The Board considered the Chief Compliance Officer’s report regarding the Adviser’s compliance program, the Adviser’s continued development, execution and management of its compliance program, and the additions to the compliance team to support the continued growth of the Nuveen fund family and address regulatory developments.
The Board also considered information highlighting the various initiatives that the Adviser had implemented or continued during the year to enhance or support the open-end fund product line. The Board noted the Adviser’s continued initiatives (a) to develop and offer new outcome-oriented funds; (b) to refine the reports to the Board, including enhanced reporting regarding payments to intermediaries, as well as provide presentations to the Board to keep it apprised of various topics that are relevant to the open-end fund product line (such as marketing initiatives, portfolio analytics and sales results); (c) to modify the contingent deferred sales load structure for Class A shares to be more competitive with peers; (d) to launch a new share class to attract institutional clients; and (e) to change portfolio managers on various funds. The Board recognized that initiatives that attract assets to the Nuveen family of funds benefited the funds as fixed costs would be spread over a larger asset base and, as described below, through the complex-wide arrangement which generally would provide that the management fees of the funds (subject to limited exceptions) are reduced as asset levels for the complex increase. The Board also considered the Adviser’s review of the pricing on its entire open-end fund line which resulted in either a reduction in the contractual management fee, a reduction in a temporary expense cap or a combination thereof for numerous funds in the complex helping to better position such funds for future growth.
As noted, the Adviser also oversees the Sub-Adviser who primarily provides the portfolio advisory services to the Fund. The Board recognized the skill and competency of the Adviser in monitoring and analyzing the performance of the Sub-Adviser and managing the sub-advisory relationship. The Board noted that the Adviser recommended the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under each Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
B. The Investment Performance of the Fund and Fund Advisers
The Board considered the long-term and short-term performance history of the Nuveen funds. As noted above, the Board reviewed fund performance at its quarterly meetings throughout the year and took into account the information derived from the discussions with representatives of the Adviser about fund performance at these meetings. The Board also considered the Adviser’s analysis of fund performance with particular focus on any performance outliers and the factors contributing to such performance and any steps the investment team had taken to address performance concerns. The Board reviewed, among other things, the Fund’s investment performance both on an absolute basis and in comparison to its benchmark for the quarter-, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2015, as well as performance information reflecting the first quarter of 2016.
In evaluating performance information, the Board recognized the following factors may impact the performance data as well as the consideration to be given to particular performance data:
• | The performance data reflected a snapshot in time, in this case as of the end of the most recent calendar year or quarter. A different performance period, however, could generate significantly different results. |
• | Long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme had the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance. |
• | Shareholders evaluate performance based on their own holding period which may differ from the performance period reviewed by the Board, leading to different performance results. |
• | Open-end funds generally offered multiple classes and the performance data provided for open-end funds was generally based on Class A shares. The performance of the other classes, if any, of a fund, however, should be substantially similar on a relative basis because all of the classes would be invested in the same portfolio of securities and differences in performance among classes could be principally attributed to the variations in distribution and servicing expenses of each class. |
56 | NUVEEN |
• | The Board recognized the difficulty in establishing appropriate peer groups and benchmarks for certain funds. The Board also recognized that each fund operated pursuant to its own investment objective(s), parameters and restrictions which may differ from that of the peer group or benchmark, and that these variations lead to differences in performance results. |
With respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance concerns, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers those steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken. The Board was aware, however, that shareholders chose to invest or remain invested in a fund knowing that the Adviser and the applicable sub-adviser manage the fund, knowing the fund’s investment strategy and seeking exposure to that strategy (even if the strategy was “out of favor” in the marketplace) and knowing the fund’s fee structure.
The Board noted that, given the unique nature of the Fund, the Fund does not have a performance peer group (i.e., comparable funds against which the Fund can compare its performance). The Fund, however, outperformed its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board determined that the Fund’s performance had been favorable.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and other fees and expenses of the Nuveen funds. With respect to the Fund, the Independent Board Members recognized the unique fee structure of the Fund. The Fund does not pay the Adviser or Sub-Adviser a management fee. Rather, the Fund is sold via separately managed accounts and these accounts pay the Adviser a managed account management fee. This managed account management fee reflects a blended rate reflecting an implied management fee for managing the Fund and an implied management fee for managing individual municipal bonds. The Independent Board Members reviewed the methodology for determining the implied fees which determined the managed account fee. The Independent Board Members also recognized that the Adviser pays or reimburses the Fund’s expenses (except for interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). Given the different fee structure, and distribution and account support requirements, the Independent Board Members recognized that the expenses incurred by the Fund (nearly all of which are reimbursed by the Adviser) were not comparable to a peer group or other Nuveen funds.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that the Fund’s fee and expense structure was reasonable.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
The Board also reviewed information regarding the fee rates for other types of clients advised or sub-advised by the respective Fund Adviser. For the Adviser and/or its affiliated sub-advisers, such other clients may include municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs) sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser.
The Board recognized that all Nuveen funds had a sub-adviser, either affiliated or not affiliated, and that, in general, a fund’s management fee reflected two components, the fee retained by the Adviser for its services and the fee the Adviser paid to the sub-adviser. With respect to affiliated sub-advisers, including the Sub-Adviser, the Board reviewed, among other things, the range of advisory fee rates and average fee rate assessed for the different types of clients. The Board reviewed information regarding the different types of services provided to the Nuveen funds compared to that provided to other clients which typically did not require the same breadth of day-to-day services required for registered funds. The Board further considered information regarding the differences in, among other things, the distribution systems, investment policies, investor profiles, and account sizes between the Nuveen funds and the other types of clients. The Independent Board Members recognized that the foregoing variations resulted in different economics among the product structures and culminated in varying management fees among the types of clients and funds.
In general, the Board noted that higher fee levels reflected higher levels of service, increased investment management complexity, greater product management requirements and higher levels of business risk or some combination of the foregoing. However, the Independent Board Members also recognized that the Fund is offered via separately managed accounts and therefore may not require or incur the costs of shareholder servicing to the same extent as typical open-end funds. Further, as noted, given the Fund’s unique fee and expense structure pursuant to which the Fund does not pay management fees and the expenses are primarily reimbursed, comparisons with peers were not available.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities on an absolute basis and in comparison to other investment advisers. The Independent Board Members reviewed, among other things, Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins, the gross and net revenue margins (pre-tax and after-tax) for advisory activities for the Nuveen funds, and the revenues, expenses, and net income (pre-tax and after-tax) of Nuveen for each of the last two calendar years. The Independent Board Members reviewed an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2015. In their review, the Independent Board Members recognized that profitability data is rather subjective as various allocation methodologies may be reasonable to employ but yet yield different results. The Board also reviewed the results of certain alternative methodologies. The Board considered the allocation methodology employed to prepare the profitability data as well as a summary of the refinements to the methodology that had been adopted over the years which may limit some of the comparability of Nuveen’s revenue margins over time. Two Independent Board Members also served as point persons for the
NUVEEN | 57 |
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Board throughout the year to review and discuss the methodology employed to develop the profitability analysis and any proposed changes thereto and to keep the Board apprised of such changes during the year. In reviewing the profitability data, the Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen’s operating margin as well as its margins for its advisory activities to the Nuveen funds for 2015 were consistent with such margins for 2014.
The Board also considered Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins compared to that of other comparable investment advisers (based on asset size and composition) with publicly available data. The Independent Board Members recognized, however, the limitations of the comparative data as the other advisers may have a different business mix, employ different allocation methodologies, have different capital structure and costs, may not be representative of the industry or other factors that limit the comparability of the profitability information. Nevertheless, the Independent Board Members noted that Nuveen’s adjusted operating margins appeared comparable to the adjusted margins of the peers.
Further, as the Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen which in turn is an operating division of TIAA Global Asset Management, the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA-CREF”), the Board reviewed a balance sheet for TIAA-CREF reflecting its assets, liabilities and capital and contingency reserves for the last two calendar years to have a better understanding of the financial stability and strength of the TIAA-CREF complex, together with Nuveen.
Based on the information provided, the Independent Board Members noted that the Adviser appeared to be sufficiently profitable to operate as a viable investment management firm and to honor its obligations as a sponsor of the Nuveen funds.
With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s revenues, expenses and revenue margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015. The Independent Board Members also reviewed profitability analysis reflecting the revenues, expenses and revenue margin (pre- and post-tax) by asset type for the Sub-Adviser for the calendar year ending December 31, 2015.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Fund as well as indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements), if any, the Fund Adviser and its affiliates received or were expected to receive that were directly attributable to the management of the Fund. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits a Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s levels of profitability were reasonable in light of the respective services provided.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
The Independent Board Members recognized that, as the assets of a particular fund or the Nuveen complex in the aggregate increase over time, economies of scale may be realized with respect to the management of the funds, and the Independent Board Members considered the extent to which these economies are shared with the funds and their shareholders. Although the Independent Board Members recognized that economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision, the Board noted that there were several acceptable means to share economies of scale, including through breakpoints in the management fee schedule reducing the fee rates as asset levels grow, fee waiver and expense limitation agreements and the Adviser’s investment in its business which can enhance the services provided to the funds. With respect to breakpoints, the Independent Board Members noted that, subject to certain exceptions, the funds in the Nuveen complex pay a management fee to the Adviser which is generally comprised of a fund-level component and complex-level component.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members noted that because the Fund does not pay a management fee, there is no applicable fund-level or complex-wide level breakpoint schedule, although its assets would be counted toward the complex-wide total.
In addition, the Independent Board Members recognized the Adviser’s ongoing investment in its business to expand or enhance the services provided to the Nuveen funds. The Independent Board Members noted, among other things, the additions to groups who play a key role in supporting the funds including in fund administration, operations, fund governance, investment services, compliance, product management, retail distribution and technology. The Independent Board Members also recognized the investments in systems necessary to manage the funds including in areas of risk oversight, information technology and compliance.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the absence of a fund-level and complex-level breakpoint schedule or arrangement (as applicable) was acceptable.
E. Indirect Benefits
The Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding other additional benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to affiliates and research received in connection with brokerage transactions (i.e., soft dollar arrangements). In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered that the Fund’s portfolio transactions are allocated by the Sub-Adviser and the Sub-Adviser may benefit from research received through soft-dollar arrangements. The Board noted, however, that with respect to transactions in fixed income securities, such securities generally trade on a principal basis and do not generate soft dollar credits.
58 | NUVEEN |
Although the Board recognized the Sub-Adviser may benefit from a soft dollar arrangement if it does not have to pay for this research out of its own assets, the Board also recognized that any such research may benefit the Fund to the extent it enhances the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage the Fund.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. Other Considerations
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/MutualFunds/ShareholderResources/FundGovernance.aspx. (To view the code, click on Code of Conduct.)
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant’s Board of Directors or Trustees (“Board”) determined that the registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant’s audit committee financial experts are Carole E. Stone and Jack B. Evans, who are “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Ms. Stone served for five years as Director of the New York State Division of the Budget. As part of her role as Director, Ms. Stone was actively involved in overseeing the development of the State’s operating, local assistance and capital budgets, its financial plan and related documents; overseeing the development of the State’s bond-related disclosure documents and certifying that they fairly presented the State’s financial position; reviewing audits of various State and local agencies and programs; and coordinating the State’s system of internal audit and control. Prior to serving as Director, Ms. Stone worked as a budget analyst/examiner with increasing levels of responsibility over a 30 year period, including approximately five years as Deputy Budget Director. Ms. Stone has also served as Chair of the New York State Racing Association Oversight Board, as Chair of the Public Authorities Control Board, as a Commissioner on the New York State Commission on Public Authority Reform and as a member of the Boards of Directors of several New York State public authorities. These positions have involved overseeing operations and finances of certain entities and assessing the adequacy of project/entity financing and financial reporting. Currently, Ms. Stone is on the Board of Directors of CBOE Holdings, Inc., of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, and of C2 Options Exchange. Ms. Stone’s position on the boards of these entities and as a member of both CBOE Holdings’ Audit Committee and its Finance Committee has involved, among other things, the oversight of audits, audit plans and preparation of financial statements.
Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser (“SCI”). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) and actively supervised the CFO’s preparation of financial statements and other filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was actively involved in the preparation of SCI’s financial statements and the resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr. Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Funds’ auditor, billed to the Funds’ during the Funds’ last two full fiscal years. The Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided to the Funds, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The preapproval exception for services provided directly to the Funds waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Funds during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Funds did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
